Superman & Lois

Previously on Superman & Lois...

I'm stepping down from active duty.

You're gonna be hard to replace.

They'll find somebody.

John Henry is from another earth?

She was my wife.

The mother of my daughter.

I'm gonna be right back.

Multi-verse and parallel universes, each with its own earth.

Mom!

I saw you die, I lost Natalie.

When you and your brother were about 18 months old, I got pregnant

and I ended up losing the baby.

We were gonna name her Natalie.

I just wonder if you needed more time to process your grief.

- -

It can't be.

Mom?

Mom?

- Mom! - No, no, no, no, nat. It's just...

It's, uh... it's complicated.

Look, that's... that's not your mother.

What?

She's still gone.

But then, why are you here?

Let me explain.

Lois, you have to say something.

- Boys, we got to go. -

Babe, do we have, uh, any sancerre?

You can bring a bottle of sauv blanc, if not.

Yeah, it's just sancerre is Lana's favorite.

Then, swing by lark's and get one.

Okay.

Anyone promising?

Just more of the same.

You know, Perry hired me when I barely had any experience.

Sometimes as a cover reporter, it's more about their

eagerness than anything else.

What?

Hey! Where's your brother?

Uh, I don't know. Probably, changing his outfit for the million time.

Jordan, let's go.

Oh. Woah!

Something wrong?

Um...

You'll, um... wow, you'll smell.

Phew! Wow!

Interesting Cologne, sweetie.

Yeah! You put on the whole bottle there, chief?

What's that?

- Nothing. - Nothing?

It's a surprise for Sarah.

You spending all day with her?

She's been gone a month, mom.

Just be home for dinner.

Yeah! Yeah!

And, um... you know, it's Natalie's first day at school today.

You think you wanna call her? Wish her luck or something.

Clark, I don't know what to tell you. She still won't talk to me, okay.

- Hmm. - Get to these interviews.

Dad, how long is she gonna be like this?

I don't know.

Come on. In the truck, let's go.

Windows down, please.

Is it really that bad?

It's strong, bud. It's real strong.

Look at that bozo.

It ain't cool that they're making Superman all commercial like this.

Last thing, we need is Smallville become a some sort of

tourist trap, just because of what happened with Morgan edge.

It's helping the local economy, who cares?

A lot of us.

A lot of us don't.

I think that's the one.

- Hey! - Hi!

- -

Hi, honey.

- Oh! I missed you. - I missed you, too.

- It's a lot of ways to miss. - Uh-huh.

We got a lot of people that are excited to see you.

- Well. - Sophie, Jordan.

Yeah! Me, too.

- So, how was it? How was camp? -

Yeah! Good, I mean...

It was good to be there.

It just felt a little different as a counsellor.

Better?

Yeah! Everything... Everything was... better.

So, you were at the messenger for the last year?

Finally, got my first story published.

Before that, I was doing a lot of layouts.

- Proofing copy. - Ah.

Certainly use help around here with that.

Among other things.

Mainly, though, I was showing them how to monetize the site.

- You know how to do all that? - Of course.

I probably make more on my blog than they do.

You have your own blog?

I'm the "woat or goat" guy.

I have like 40,000 Twitter followers.

Lois!

- This is our 9:30... - Hi, I'm Michael.

Rlght, the "woat or goat" guy. Thank you for coming in.

It's nice to meet you. We will be in touch.

Okay.

Thank you.

If the rest of the interviews we have lined up for today are more like him,

then cancel.

- Lois, you didn't even talk to him. - I didn't need to.

We need somebody who cares more about the job

than about how many twits follow them.

Also, that article he wrote was predictive journalism at its worst.

You haven't liked a single person I brought in the past month.

That is correct. Because, none of them were good enough.

They were the best available.

Look, we're gonna have to compromise on something

or we're never gonna get another reporter in here.

And we need help. Badly.

Fine!

Look what just showed up.

Oh! I'm so excited.

Ooh!

Oh, these are fantastic.

What do you think?

Uh, yeah, they are great, if you like campaign t-shirts.

Oh, you should put Daniel's face on it. He'd make a super-hot mayor.

It doesn't matter what he looks like, Sarah.

He just needs to beat George Dean.

And I will work as hard as possible to make sure that happens.

- Who's that? - Oh, it's probably Jordan.

Saw him walking up when I grabbed the box.

He's here, like now?

Probably just wants to see you.

He didn't text me first.

- Hey! - Hey.

Hi! I know, I, uh...

I probably should've texted first, but, honestly,

I just couldn't wait another second to see you.

Uh, well, your timing kind of sucks.

My mom's got this big Daniel hart like

mayoral campaign event planned, so...

The house is gonna be pretty crowded.

Gotcha. Um, well, could you meet me at atlas pond in like an hour?

I have something I wanna show you.

Come on. Let's go. Come on, baby.

- Push it. -

White 22.

White 22. Set. Hut!

- -

The man's good hands.

- Good one, baby. Let's go! -

Someone is coming on strong!

Good job, son.

- Hey, qb number 2, let's go. - Yes, coach!

- Come on, bring it up. It's double time. - Yes, coach.

Time to work on them running plays. Let's go.

I mean, Candice, you were there. You saw it.

Literally, not a single pass play this week.

Dad, did you talk to coach gaines yet?

Yes, I did talk to him.

He's just easing you back into things.

Okay, yeah. But we've been practicing for two weeks.

Yeah! I know, Jonathan. But you broke your arm twice last year.

Okay, yeah. But it healed.

I'm sure coach is just looking out for your best interest.

Maybe, you could talk to him. Let him know your frustrated and...

See what he says.

Yeah! You're right.

I knew I was dating you for a reason.

Hey! I'm gonna walk down to Hubbard's farm.

Ben, wanted me to look at the headers on his combine.

All right. We'll just be hanging out then.

So, how far away is Hubbard's farm?
